Clairaut's equation, in mathematics, a differential equation of the form y = x (dy/dx) + f(dy/dx) where f(dy/dx) is a function of dy/dx only. The equation is named for the 18th-century French mathematician and physicist Alexis-Claude Clairaut, who devised it.

What is the form of Bernoulli equation?

A Bernoulli differential equation is an equation of the form y′+a(x)y=g(x)yν, where a(x) are g(x) are given functions, and the constant ν is assumed to be any real number other than 0 or 1. Bernoulli equations have no singular solutions.

How do you find the general solution of Clairaut's equation?

y(x)=Cx+f(C), the so-called general solution of Clairaut's equation. y=xy′+(y′).
